After renovating several homes and building several workshops over the years, I have a few "general" suggestions: Add more outlets/receptacles than you think you'll need, because you'll need them. It's a lot easier, faster, and cheaper to add them while you are constructing the garage/shop than...

That's a very attractive screen. I can see that it took some careful planning. What is it finished with? Powder coat, perhaps?

That's a great rotisserie. Very versatile design, and it looks very well crafted. If I had room for something like that, it would move up several notches on my 'to-do' list. I've been picking away...very slowly...at the restoration of a 1954 Dodge M37, and a rotisserie would make a lot of tasks...

Thanks all. :) I'm not a fast worker; I generally just plug away at things until I'm happy with the results. The TIG cart has been working well for me. As mentioned, my shop is pretty small, so the maneuverability of the cart has proven to be its best feature. It gets parked in a lot of...

I'm playing catch-up on this forum, as I've posted some of my projects to other forums in the past, and here's another welding project that I put together a couple of years ago: I fabricated this welding cart to hold a new Everlast PowerTIG 210 EXT AC/DC IGBT inverter-technology welder that I...

Thanks. BTW, I see you're in Utah. I lived in Salt Lake off and on for over 35 years...longer in Utah than anywhere else. I rather miss it, especially the red rock country, although I love it here in coastal Maine. More projects to be posted as time permits.

Thanks, @LG63. I plan to use another set of Magliner wheels on an upcoming project. One thing I like about the wheels is that they have decent bearings. I'll post a few more welding/fabrication projects here when I have a moment. Most of my free time these days is spent restoring an old house...

I fabricated this cart/trolley for a small 6HP OB motor. (BTW, I posted this a while back on a UK forum, hence the term "trolley.") The angle of the upright frame is adjustable for motor variations, the mounting board height can be changed, and the cart folds for storage. The basic design is...

I just came upon this thread, and I thought it would be a good time to stop lurking on the forum and join in. I'm in the process of replacing my non-adjustable (fixed-vial) levels (which sometimes aren't quite as accurate as I'd like) with vintage adjustable levels that I can get at a...

Your Mach probably passes more gasolineras than my old F250 V10. Oh well, at least most of them are well equipped with coffee and donuts.

Thanks, neighbor. Are you from New Brunswick by any chance? We get up that way fairly often...we really enjoy the NB coast. Is that a Mach I that I see in your avatar image? I've always thought it was one of the best-looking Mustangs. Which mill is hiding under the hood? Al (Blue Chips)

Hi everyone, This forum looks like a good place to bounce a few garage/barn ideas back and forth and take advantage of your collective experience. We live in midcoast Maine, where we are in the process of restoring a ca. 1797 center-chimney cape home. The house still retains many of its...
